Kobkul is very friendly and helpful! She buys or makes breakfast in the morning and even offers some ice tea on arrival and water when you need it! Several times she helped flag taxis and make sure that they were metered. The place was clean and simple. Theres only one bathroom/shower set up to share. And after showering water gets all over the toilet and anything in the bathroom. Thankfully it dries quickly. And despite needing to take 2 showers a day because of the sweat and heat, we didn't have to wait for the shower even with other guests staying there. Its also across the street from a famous pad thai place- beware the lines if you want dinner! And its about a 20 minute walk from both Kao San Road and some major markets and monuments, including the royal palace and wat pho!
